About Us

We are a UK-based Japanese tea retailer dedicated to sourcing and sharing authentic Japanese matcha. Based in London, United Kingdom, we work closely with trusted suppliers in Uji, Kyoto, Japan; a region internationally recognized for producing some of the world’s finest green teas.

Our mission is to curate a distinctive selection of matcha chosen for its origin, flavour profile, freshness, and intended use. Each matcha is carefully selected for its unique tasting notes, vibrant colour, and balanced character. This focus on quality and thoughtful curation inspired the name The Matcha Sommelier, reflecting our commitment to guiding customers through the nuanced world of matcha with clarity and expertise.

We believe great matcha is defined by balance, a clean bitterness, natural sweetness, and a smooth, lingering finish. For this reason, all products offered on our website are clearly described so customers understand exactly what they are purchasing, whether for traditional preparation, lattes, or culinary use.

As our collection grows, our aim is to share more than just tea. We seek to introduce customers to the deeper values of Japanese tea culture, including mindfulness, craftsmanship, and positive wellbeing. Matcha is not only a beverage, but a daily ritual that encourages presence, focus, and well-being.

At Matcha Sommelier, we are committed to transparency, reliable service, and responsible sourcing. We proudly serve customers across the UK and internationally, connecting tea lovers with the authentic taste and tradition of Uji matcha.
